On Monday, the Perth-based company announced that two previous tests run over the Upper and Lower Poolowanna formations were also unproductive.
Drilled in January, the Fairbridge-1 well was cased and suspended for future production due to the non-availability of equipment and personnel. However, at the time, operator Cooper Energy was uncertain if the well would produce commercial hydrocarbons.
Fairbridge-1 is about 4km west of the Keleary oil field and 80km north of Innaminka.
Interests in Fairbridge-1 are operator Cooper Energy, which holds a 38.33% stake, Sundance Energy (41.67%) and Enterprise Energy (10%), as well as US companies McElvain (5%) and Liberty Petroleum (5%).
